BABY DAWG
April 3, 2022 
Saw the first hummingbird of the season TODAY!
You know what they say about the early bird . . . 
Cute "little booger", isn't he?

Here's another poem by our favorite poet, Gene Fuller:

"Well it's about that time of year for the little hummers to appear

They should be here now any day they will come to visit but not to stay
That they will come i have no doubt i have already put the feeders out
I'll keep my eyes peeled to the sky for a feathered bullet to go whizzing by
They will build a little nest i cannot see away up high in some ole tree
At first i'll see but one or two but when they leave there will be quite a few
All day long with all their might the maneuvers they do is out of sight
They sing no song but it doesn't  matter they make it up with constant chatter
The little boogers they do beguile and all day long they bring a smile
At summer's end i do not know what tell's them when or where to go
It will leave a void but it's not a bummer they have left me know they 
THEY WILL BE BACK NEXT SUMMER !!"

GOT SNOW,
WELL, YES I DID!

January 16, 2022
"Thanks little guy for thinking of me
You're playing out in the snow I see
But I have to caution you little guy
Your legs are short and the snow is high
So stay alert, I beg you please
Don't go and let your tummy freeze !!"

​Another year has come and gone
And this old dude keeps hanging on
So I'll sit down and take the time
To start the new year with a rhyme
I will write about a friend of mine
He is not into cheese or wine
Like a log he is long and round
And his tummy almost drags the ground
He cannot see out of either eye
But he is an active little guy
There is one thing he does so well
The little fellow can really smell
With all the restrictions that blindness imposes
He finds the time to smell the roses
His hearing is acute as well as his smell
And many a mole has been sent to hell
I have found comfort in our relation
Fritz, my man,  you're a real inspiration
I will close with a message loud and clear
Everyone there have a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

Composed by a good friend of Fritz, 
​Gene Fuller

Brother Fritz demonstrates MASK WEARING!
Thanks BIG DAWG for clarifying this . . . 
NOT OVER EYES.
WRONG, NOT OVER EYES!
WRONG, NOT ON HEAD!
NOT OVER EYES!
WRONG! NOT UNDER NOSE, COMMON MISTAKE!
CORRECT!
July 31, 2021 
After this announcement, our friend, Gene, wrote this response:
"Thank you Fritz for your public service 
But the wearing of a mask always makes me nervous
Your explicit instructions are out of sight
If it's better that you do-- then do it right"

One of the hottest days of the year, a great time to spray herbicide.

How did this happen?  I'm "one in a hole"  -- fitting since I live on the 2nd fairway.

Brother Fritz & I hit the "jackpot" this year with Santa (i.e. Cousin Shelley).  
He couldn't wait to start playing.

Meet Reggie! 
​He doesn't mind staying outside when Fritz and I go inside. 

"​​Great to hear from you Fritzie Boy
To me you are the Real McCoy
Makes no difference who may come around
You will always be my favorite hound!!  

A MERRY CHRISTMAS to you TOO!!
(p.s. Your lucky you can't see who they have you hanging around with! )
Your good friend -  Gene"

Yeah Papa!  After a long delay because of another back order caused by the "Virus", Papa -- with the help of Randy -- got us a mini split.  Brother Fritz and I love to be warm.  And Papa too!

Two of Brother Fritz's favorite things to do:
1) lay in the sunshine 
​2) play with a squeaky toy 
His VERY favorite thing to do is sit on Papa's lap!

Who is that "wooly bugger"? 
​Oh, sorry Papa, I almost didn't recognize you. 
Good thing Mom is a whiz with the scissors!
September 9, 2020
YUM, YUM!
My parents just LOVE these things. 
I catch them eating them off the vine. 
Deer LOVE them too!

Yes, Papa had to get new tires for the tractor.  Not just any tire but military grade.
Who would have thought that would be such a problem????
Finally, found some online in Ohio,  then they were out of stock due to the pandemic, and finally, arrived about a month later. 
WHEW!
